Projects & partnerships

Research delivered through collaboration

Working with industry, universities, government and technology developers to move hydrogen research into practical application.

Research and industry partners meeting at the Hydrogen Research Centre

Partnerships built around real challenges

Collaborative projects allow research questions to be shaped by practical engineering needs and create routes from concept through testing and demonstration.

Hydrogen technology partnership activity at the Hydrogen Research Centre
Case studies

Technology development in practice

Evergreen case studies will show how testing, system integration and collaboration have been used to answer specific engineering questions.

Evidence that helps technologies move forward

Our aim is to generate practical technical evidence, not research in isolation. That may mean understanding a component, validating a system, demonstrating a technology or informing a deployment decision.
